SEEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 695,872, dated March 18, 1902.

Application filed September 11, 1901. Serial No. 75,087. (No model.)

To a whom, it may concern: the present invention. Fig. 2 is atransverse Be it known that I, JOSEPH LEWIS BANG- sectional view thereof, taken on the line 2 2 LEY, a citizen of the United States, residing of Fig. 1. at Suffolk, in the county of Nansemond and Like characters of reference designate cor- 55 5 State of Virginia, have invented a new and responding parts in both figures of the drawuseful Heating-Stove, of which the following ings. is a specification. Referring to the accompanying d rawiugs,

This invention relates to stoves, and is parit will be seen that the stove has a substanticularly designed to provide improvements tiallyreotangular bodyl, which is preferably 60 to in wood-burning stoves wherein air is heated made of sheet metal and is supported by and given off in a simple and effective manmeans of any ordinary or preferred form of ner; and it is furthermore designed to prolegs 2, so as to space the bottom of the stove vide for adjusting the air-heating means so at a suitable distance above the floor. In as to accommodate the same to the varying the front of the stove there is provided asuit- 65 conditions of the air surrounding the stove. able damper-controlled draft-opening 3, and Afurther object is to arrange the air-heatconnected to the upper portion of the rear ing means so as to receive the full benefit of end of the stove is a smoke-pipe 4. the fire and at the same time to obviate ob- In the extreme rear end of the stove and structing the fuel-opening and fire-box of the situated vertically therein and substantially 7o stove,whereby thelatter is particularly adaptmidway between the opposite sides thereof ed for burning wood in comparatively long there is provided a heating-drum5, which has sticks. its opposite ends externally screw-threaded Another object is to provide a tight and and projected through the top and bottom of durable connection between the air-heating the stove. The upper end of the drum is con- 75 means and the top and bottom of the stove, nected to the top of the stove by means of a so as not to interfere with the effective burnpair of nuts 6, which are applied to the screwing of the fuel and at the same time to facilithreaded terminal of the drum and tightly tate the adjustment of the air-heating declamped against the opposite sides of the top vice. of the stove, thereby to form a tight and dura- 80 0 Final objects reside in the provision of an ble connection therewith. The opposite end improved closure for the fuel-opening, said of the drum is connected to the bottom of the closure being constructed and mounted for stove in the same manner as described for convenience in operation and also to stiffen the upper end of the drum, it of course being and strengthen the same and toinsure a tight understood that the opposite ends of the drum 8 3 5 connection between the closure and the top project but slightly-that is to say, just of the stove when the former is in its closed enough to permit of the application of the position. external nuts. lVithin this open-ended heat- WVith these and other objects in view the ing-drum there is provided a pipe 7, which present invention consists in the combinahas a tight fit therein and is capable of end- 0 tion and arrangement of parts, as will be herewise adjustment, the frictional contact beinafter more fully described, shown in the actween the pipe and the drum being sufficient companying drawings,and particularly pointto hold the former in any adjusted position. ed out in the appended claims, itbeing under- The lower end of the adjustable air-pipe is stood that changes in the form, proportion, open and also designed to communicate witha 5 size,and minor details maybe made within the source of fresh cool air, and therefore may scope of the claims without departing from the terminate short of the floor 8, upon which the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of stove rests, or it may project through a'suitthe invention. able opening 9, formed in the floor, in order In the drawings, Figure 1 is a central lonthat the inlet end of the pipe maybe projected 10s gitudinal sectional view of a heating-stove through the floor for communication with a constructed and arranged in accordance with source of air cooler than that which may be obtained in the room containing the stove as, for instance, the pipe may be projected into. a cellar. It is important that the air tube or pipe be of such a length as to be projected through the floor, for the reason that cess to the pipe for adjustment, as it may be readily taken hold of above the stove, and therefore it is not necessary to stoop down and reach beneath the stove to adjust the pipe.

It will of course be understood that the purpose of the air-pipe is to convey the heated air to rooms other than that in which the stove is placed, and therefore it is designed to have the upper end of the pipe slidably received within a pipe-section 10, fixed to the ceiling and piercing the same for connection with a register, (not shown,) but commonly employed for the distribution of heat from a heatingstove. Besides being useful to thrust the pipe downwardly through an opening in the floor it is also useful to adjust the lower open end of the pipe vertically with respect to the floor, so as to adapt the pipe to the air conditions of the room, especially drafts, and thereby to secure an effective updraft through the pipe.

The fuel-opening is formed in the top of the stove and is comparatively large, so as to readily-receive long sticks of wood, as this is the character of fuel for which the present stove is designed. The closure for this opening is formed from a single plate or sheet of metal 11, which lies upon the top of the stove, is slidable in an endwise direction, and is provided with opposite upstanding longitudinal integral flanges 12, the outer end of the plate or sheet being reduced and rolled over upon I the top thereof in a coil 13, so as to form a handle, the extreme end of the coil being secured to the adjacent body portion of the plate by means of a rivet or other suitable fastening 14. The inner end of the closure-plate is folded upon the under side thereof, as indicated at 15, so as to stiflen the inner end of the closure, and the free extremity of this folded portion is bent downwardly to form a stop-flange 16 for engagement with the inner end of the fuel-opening, and thereby to limit the inward movement of the closure, the folded inner end portion 'of the plate being adapted to overlap the inner end of the opening, and thereby support the intermediate edge portion. It will of course be understood that the opposite ends of the stop-flange 16 are cut away, so as to permit of said flange entering the fuel-opening. For guiding the closure-plate there is provided a pair of guideways, each of which is formed from a single sheet of metal 17, which is riveted or otherwise secured to the top of the stove and par allel with the adjacent edge of the fuel-opening, the inner edge of the plate being bent upwardly and then downwardly, so as to form an inverted substantially U-shaped groove or guideway 18 for the slidable reception of the respective upstanding flanges 12 of the closure-plate, whereby the latter is capable of endwise movement and is held against displacement and looseness.

From the foregoing description it will be noted that the air-heating device is located at the rear extremity of the stove, and the interior of the latter is otherwise unobstructed, and therefore the heating device lies wholly within the fire-box of the stove and is thereby subjected to direct contact with the flames, whereby the air contained in the heating device is quickly and effectively heated and is not located remote from the fire. Furthermore, by locating the heating device at the extreme rear of the stove the top of the latter is otherwise unobstructed, whereby it is possible to provide a comparatively large fuelopening, so as to facilitate the introduction of large sticks of wood.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A heating-stove,having aheating-drum provided with an exit-opening in communication with the air surrounding the stove, and an endwise-adjustable inlet-pipe communicating with the interior of the drum and piercing the bottom of the stove, the lower end of the inlet-pipe being normallyin communication with the air surrounding the stove and adjustable vertically to accommodate the inlet end of the pipe to the conditions of said air.

2. A heating-stove, having an upright airheating pipe piercing the top and bottom of the stove, the lower end of the pipe being normally in communication with the air surrounding the stove, and the entire pipe also being endwise shiftable to accommodate the same to the conditions of the said air.

3. A heating-stove, having an open-ended air-heating drum fixed to and piercing opposite sides of the stove, and an open-ended endwise-adjustable pipe fitted within the drum.

4:. A heating-stove, having an open-ended air-heating drum fixed to and piercing opposite sides of the stove, and an endwise-adjustable air-pipe frictionally fitting the inner walls of the drum, the frictional engagement between the drum and the pipe forming means to hold. the latter at any endwise adjustment.

5. A heating-stove, having an open-ended air-heating drum piercing opposite sides of the stove and projected outwardly beyond the same, the opposite ends of the drum being screw-threaded, inner and outer nuts applied to each end of the drum and snugly clamping the adjacent side of the stove between the same, and an endwise-adjustable air-pipe mounted within the drum.

6. A heating-stove, having a smoke-pipe IIO connected at its rear end, an open-ended upright air-heating drum piercing the top and bottom of the stove at the rear ends thereof, and an endwise-adjustable air-pipe fitted within the drum and projected both above and below the stove, the lower end of the pipe being constructed to form an inlet, and the upper end of the pipe being constructed to discharge the heated air, the top of the stove being provided with a fuel-opening located in front of the drum.

7. A stove having a fuel-opening, external guideways provided at opposite sides of the fuelopening, and an endwise-slidable closure having upstanding flanges slidably engaging the guideways, and having its inner end folded upon its underside to stiffen the closure and then bent downwardly to form a stopflange for engagement with the inner edge of the fuel-opening, the opposite ends of the flange being cutaway to permit of the flange working between the opposite sides of the fuel-opening, and the outer end of the closure being rolled over upon the upper side thereof to form a handle, the free portion of the roll being secured to the closure.

8. The combination of a heating-stove having alined openings at the top and bottom thereof, an open-ended endwise-shiftable pipe fitted in said openings and projected above and below the stove, and a pipe-section to telescopically engage the upper end of the shiftable pipe and capable of being connected to the ceiling of a room so as to form a continuation of the shiftable pipe.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aifixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses. I
